Graz, 30 May 2007. International Andritz Group received major orders

Euros.
For Celulosas de Asturias S.A. (CEASA), a pulp mill located in Navia,

steam from eucalyptus bark, fines and biomass residue.  The pulp 
drying systems are based on the Andritz Twin Wire Forming Technology 
for high production capacities and low operating costs, successfully 
proven in more than ten reference plants worldwide.  The production 
rate of 400 t/d per meter of working width represents a new world 
record. Start-up is scheduled for late 2008.
